    s=-6cos((pi*t)/6)


    t=1 is incorrect (gives you s= -3sqrt(3))

    t=3 is correct

    t=5 is incorrect (gives you s= 3sqrt(3))

    t=7 is incorrect (gives you s= 3sqrt(3))

    t=9 is correct

    t=11 is incorrect (gives you s= -3sqrt(3))

    so, t=3,9,15,21 is correct

    if you did the table first would be better

    the table will help you to see for what values of t the value of s=0
